Why is that arrogance... it is his personal opinion that UCF is a better school to add all the way around. The reason i wonder why you said that is because most people including experts believe that also.

Why is Coach McNeill posting on a BE expansion board? Shouldn't he be working on recruiting?

I think USF Fan is a lot more concerned with that than they are concerned with being "caught" by UCF. See now, the USF-UCF rivalry seems bitter because somehow, USF stole your seat and we are holding you down. If you join the league.....now we are conference brothers....sure you will want to beat us on the field.....but all the hate and animosity.....won't be the same.

Also, UCF joining is not going to "hurt" USF that much and it isn't going to "help" UCF as much as they think.

I can agree with this. I think UCF has an opportunity to be a pretty constant big fish in a small pond while we are in CUSA. The Big East would be a big jump and we would have to get use to losing and not bowling for a while, in all likelehood. I think UCF would bring a lot to the Big East that just got a lot stronger with TCU. A stronger Big East means a stronger USF imo. I really don't see how UCF to the Big East hurts USF...

I don't see us as a big fish in a little pond. There is no reason that Houston, and SMU can not be on the same level as UCF in CUSA. They have the same advantages we do.

Nope, I don't claim to know what is or isn't being said to recruits either...hence the joke.

And none of that is true. We havent even been in discussion for BE inclusion since 2006. From that point on, we have NO and I mean NO credible reason to believe we would be joining. Our AD adamently states that we are on the outside looking in and makes all of this public record. If we are telling recruits this, why in the world are we not getting these 4-5 star recruits? Because we arent saying it. No need for you UCiF'ers to use this to make an excuse of why we have mopped the floor with your football team for all these years.

Note how all of the rhetoric of UCiF going to the BE always comes from Orlando. It's all propaganda like starting a website or billboard for your favorite player for heisman. Get over yourself folks. Until credible evidence from someone who makes the decisions for the BE talks, shut it down. It's getting old to everyone-including the Big East!

And it won’t be determined by Villanova either.

Once TCU broke the difficult seal of a 16-team basketball conference, pushing the Big East to 17 basketball playing members, many of the objections against adding one more have faded.
Just to be absolutely clear, I am not reporting UCF to the Big East is a done deal. The league can change course for any reason at any time. All I am saying is that UCF has support from current Big East members."

Good, so I will save this post so just in case you guys dont get in your fans wont go bonkers blaming USF.

You can polish a 01-rivals all you want, it's still a 01-rivals.

Seriously though, in what way is UCF more polished? If you are speaking about that football stadium, I will whole-heartedly agree. I had to buy a new pair of sunglasses after what the glare off those shiny seats did to mine.

Arrogant?

You're bringing Chuck Landon to defend an argument? That is like me bringing in Mike Bianchi or Brian Bennett to defend an argument for UCF. Chuck is a hater, pure and simple, of everyone and everything not Marshall.

While I don't agree the teams themselves are more polished enough to make that statement, I do think that our commitment to athletic facilities is further ahead. ECU and Houston are making great strides towards upgrading facilities. Your baseball and football stadiums are definitely better and have been. But UCF has made a huge commitment to all sports facilities long before this round of expansion talks. We built the athletic village back in 2007 and the basketball facilities and football PRACTICE facilities are state-of-the-art. We are working on our track/soccer and baseball now. This facilities investment is starting to show light on the field and court but we aren't quite there yet.

I do think that we are close in sports competition. Football is neck and neck. We have soccer and I thought we had basketball (ECU proved me wrong) and you guys are definitely ahead in baseball. But where I see the difference is facilities.

And we also have the benefit of falling back on the #19 market. Whether we carry the market or not is debatable.
